1952 Map of Russian Mission D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Molybdenum Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this interior Alaskan landscape, which was photogrammetrically mapped in the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Owhat River and its various tributaries, including the aptly named Cobalt Creek. This survey captures a region of significant elevation changes and drainage patterns before modern development altered the remote wilderness. The presence of a dedicated Winter Trail cutting through the eastern portion of the sheet highlights the importance of seasonal travel routes in an era when permanent road infrastructure was largely nonexistent. These trails served as critical corridors for local movement across the varied topography of the Russian Mission quadrangle, connecting isolated points through the river valleys and high ridges.
